A small contact-form plugin for ClassicPress. Build forms in the admin, drop them anywhere with a shortcode, and get notified by email.

Description

FX Forms is a minimal, no-frills form plugin built for ClassicPress (works on WordPress too). It does one thing well: lets you define forms in the admin and embed them in pages or posts. When a visitor submits, you get an email — no submissions are stored in the database.

• Custom post type "Forms" for managing form definitions
• Field types: text, full name, email, phone, number, URL, date, time, textarea, select, checkbox
• Full / half width fields, side-by-side via CSS Grid
• Per-field help text shown under each input
• Drag-and-drop field ordering (uses ClassicPress 2.7+ native SortableJS)
• Generic fields — pick any type and give it your own label
• Embed with [fxform id=N] shortcode
• Sends email on submit, supports multiple recipients (comma- or semicolon-separated)
• Sets Reply-To automatically when an email field is present
• Honeypot anti-spam field built in
• No submissions stored in the database
• No jQuery, no React, no build step — vanilla JS only

Installation

1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
2. Activate it in the Plugins menu.
3. Go to FX Forms → Add New and build your form.
4. Copy the shortcode shown above the title and paste it into any page or post.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I embed a form?

Each form has a shortcode shown at the top of the editor — [fxform id=42]. Paste it into any page or post.

Where do submissions go?

Straight to your email. Nothing is stored on the site.

Can I send to multiple recipients?

Yes — in the form's "Send to" field, separate addresses with commas or semicolons.

Can replies go to the visitor?

If your form has a field of type "Email" and the visitor fills it in, that address is automatically set as the Reply-To header on the notification email.

What email placeholders are available?

{form_title}, {form_id}, {data} (all fields), and any individual field id like {email} or {message}. For "Full Name" fields, {your_name} produces "First Last", and {your_name_first} / {your_name_last} work too.
